Re: [Gwc-general] Odd error (only every other time I playback) using gwc with pulseaudio on ubuntu 12.10

[John C. <ci...@pu...>]

I seem to remember this happened a few years ago and in my 
case was caused by the KDE
notification timeout defaulting to something too long, like 
5 seconds or so.
Because of that, the audio system really was temporarily 
busy, but for no useful reason.
After I changed the KDE event notification timeout to 1 
second, all was well from then on.
Something to check.  Not sure if other window managers have 
something similar.
